Chapter 42

After that, I turned to the gallows man and smiled predatory, and immediately noticed panic in his eyes, it seems that he did not expect that I would so easily cope with his first mate. Then the expected happened, he pushed the first member of the team in my direction and began to run away. But is it possible to escape somewhere on the high seas, and even from me?

I grinned and easily dodged the person flying at me, then the gallows man followed the aura. He probably realized that running was a stupid idea, but fighting with me was useless, so he fell to his knees and began to bow and plead:

"Great sir, please keep me alive, I swear to serve you faithfully! I beg you, have mercy!

I ignored his pleas and came close to him, lifted him by the head, then grabbed him by the neck and began to press. He tried to pull away, but I squeezed so hard that his neck broke, his eyes rolled back, and he started bleeding from all his facial holes. After a minute of convulsions and kicking, he stopped twitching, and I calmly threw him overboard. After that, I heard a familiar voice:

[* Beep * The hanged pirate killed, 113 million belly. Reward: 20 growth points. ]

A suitable death for such rubbish, but the reward is so-so, well, at least something ...

I turned towards his command and growled:

- Fuck did you get up ?! Alive overboard! Or I'll throw you out myself!

After my cry, most of the pirates began to jump overboard, only a few doubted, but then, having decided something, they took the boats and began to sail away. Five minutes later, only I was left on the ship, they even took the egg-head, how caring ...

I grunted and went to investigate the ship, having previously broken the mast, it was a kind of signal for my team to sail here. Do not leave their honestly earned gold, right? Yes, and it is worth visiting their base, maybe there is something to profit from there.

There was nothing special on the ship, just a few treasures and a few packs of bellies, which I quickly grabbed and sank the ship. Then he went to his own, and together with everyone we sailed to the base of the "Hangman".

Their base was located on a small winter island, there was only one large mountain with a cave and a small forest. I quickly explored the cave and found a lot of treasures, and a few cages with people. Having freed them, we left them a boat and some money, then having finished loading the chests with good, we set sail.

- So, who's there next? - I asked Robin.

The girl turned to me and said:

- Thug, even worse than the last one, look. - And handed me a leaflet.

It depicted a fat man with a bawdy grin, and the reward for him was as much as one hundred and thirty lamas.

He was an assassin from the North Blue, and he was already a fruit man, not a bad target. He hunted a little further Alabasta, closer to Jaya, so we sailed there. It took a long time to sail, almost a week, but it was worth it, we still found his ship ...

Dealing with him was not a problem, his strength was not much more than the "Hangman", moreover, he was too slow and I quickly finished him off. Then I got the message:

[* Beep * Big Skull Pirate Fingers Coworth killed, 130,000,000 bellies. Reward: 30 growth points. ]

I was certainly glad, thirty points is much more than twenty, but it seems to me that this is the end, most likely now I will not get anything for killing pirates in the range of 100-150 million. And there is no point in looking for them, I almost gained enough strength. Now there is not much more to practice, and then the fun begins ...

***

* Vshuh * * Vshuh * * Vshuh *

"Not bad ..." I muttered, dodging Sanji's next kick.

"Ugh, you're too fast. - Grumbled a breathless cook.

I grinned:

- It's not about speed, I own the will of observation, if not for it, it would be difficult for me to dodge your kicks.

Sanji smiled wryly and said,

- This swordsman was also able to learn this "will", could not take me on the team earlier?

- Hehe, I remember you did not want to join. - I grinned.

Sanji sighed.

- If I knew that such girls would swim with you ... - Then he looked sideways at Robin and Nami, and said: - Then I would not even hesitate.

- Fucking ero-kok. Zoro snorted.

- What did the bastard say ?! Sanji growled.

Well it started ...

* Bach * * Bach * * Vshuuh * * Bach *

- Hmm, they are as always ... - North sighed.

I chuckled:

- That's for sure ... By the way. - I turned to the redhead: - Are you ready?

He nodded and said:

- Ready, this fruit is not so bad, and the will is not such a difficult thing as I thought.

I didn't say anything, but just grinned and went to have some rum.

The guys are making progress, Zoro has almost mastered the will to observe, and North has begun to make good progress in this area. Sanji is starting to do something too, and if he swam with me as much as Zoro, he would definitely keep up with him. These two love to compete, so their success grows thanks to each other. Now I know how to train the will of weapons, so they have more training.

The method is quite simple, just like in training the will to observe, try to feel the hacks, try to use all your fortitude to defend. Therefore, the more they fight and attack each other, the closer they are to mastering the will of weapons. Besides, I started teaching them Sora, I think it will come in handy for them. They are already quite ready for my next goal.

My goal is to declare myself, and it is not easy to defeat any sentinel, or kill someone from the world government, no ... I want more, G-8 is my goal. If we can destroy one of the strongest watch bases, it will be a huge event, we will not easily declare ourselves, our name will thunder throughout the Grand Line. And if this happens, then we will have many opponents, sentinels, agents of the world government, and even pirates. Once we would have had to declare war on the patrol, they are not touching us now, but most likely one day the world government would come to us and we would hardly be able to sail peacefully. Therefore, we attack first, show them that we are not going to play by anyone's rules. Besides, it can help me in negotiations with Whitebeard, if I have a name among the pirates, it will be easier. Although perhaps the main reason for my desire to become the Pirate King, what king does not have the glory of the most powerful man in the sea? I must make everyone afraid of me, my team must be the strongest in the world!

Eh, something I was dreaming, before all this is still far away, although they are stronger than they were in the canon on the heavenly island, they are still far from the canon Straw Hats during the battle with Big Mom. Therefore, they must become stronger, and my teacher is not very good, although I have one idea ... But, we need to wait a little longer, first it is worth dealing with the G-8.
